Ingredients

  • 6 medium Granny Smith apples peeled and chopped (or sliced, if preferred)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter divided
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2/3 cup water, apple cider, or apple juice
  • 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. apple pie spice

Instructions

  • In a large stock pot over medium heat, combine the apples, brown sugar, and 4 tbsp. butter.
  • Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until apples begin to soften and start to become tender.
  • Reduce heat to low, and add the granulated sugar, flour, salt, water, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Stirring frequently, cook until the mixture is thick, bubbly, and syrupy, 4-5 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in remaining butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and apple pie spice.
  • Allow to cool, and store in the refrigerator or freezer in tightly-lidded jelly jars.

Notes

This will fill a 9-inch deep dish pie. Just fill a pie shell, top with a crust, and bake at 400 degrees for 45-50 minutes!
